## What it is
DownThemAll! is a WebExtension download manager for Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, rebuilt from scratch as a complete re-development of the classic extension. It lets users mass-select links and images on a page, apply customizable filters, and queue, pause, and resume hundreds or thousands of downloads with renaming masks and subfolder organization.

## Use cases
- download all links or images on a webpage at once
- queue hundreds of files without overwhelming the browser download manager
- filter downloads by file type with customizable filters
- batch rename downloaded files with renaming masks
- organize downloads into subfolders automatically
- pause and resume downloads at any time

## When to choose
- you need to bulk-download many files or images from a page in Firefox, Chrome, or Edge
- you want queueing, pausing, and resuming with filters and renaming masks
- you prefer a free, open-source, privacy-respecting extension with no ads or data collection

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone download manager with deep OS integration outside the browser
- you need multi-threaded segmented downloading beyond what the browser downloads API allows
- you rely on legacy DownThemAll! features that are impossible under WebExtension restrictions

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin

- function: file-upload, developer-tools
- domain: browser-extensions, web-development, developer-tools
